Link to original post: [drupal=1661]MWTS'S album of the week: twilight of the thundergod[/drupal]



well, i used to post one of these every week intill it got closed and i was told to move it here.
so i waited a few weeks and im back. basically im just give my views on an album ive been listening to alot and each one will be a new post... so anyway.

twilight of the thundergod is Amon Amarth's 7th, and most recent, album. it consists of 10 tracks running just over 40 mins. for those of you who dont know, amon amarth is a swedish "melodic death metal" band so if you dont like death metal you probly wont like this

with guests like apocaliptica for one song, the singer of entombed for another and the guitarist from children of bodom (whom i hate) for one this album id definately awesome, you get the heavy metal feel youd expect from anything with death in the genre, but you also get a nice, almost mellow feel from some parts, hence why its melodic death....

the lyris are of war, mythology, and the norse gods.
i usually cant stand growly/grunty lyrics in my music but amon amarth is an exception...if you like metal (and you should...get this album) and better yet, go see them live, i did, and it was great.

Also Amon Amarth is purdy good. my buddy listens to them more than I do though

Or that power metal is Blind Guardian

Anywho, my friend asked me to check this album out. I don't like grunting vocals at all but still it had a nice feel to it. I've checked out some music videos and they are downright greatness :)

I would kill to see Blind Guardian live. Mirror Mirror live would be greatness. They are my favorite Power Metal band :chuckle:

But I don't want to derail this blog. What other Amon Amarth albums would you suggest to a newcomer?

well, twilight of the thundergod is the most recent, and their most sucessful one
with oden on our side was a nother good one.
but other than those, once you get used to them, youll enjoy any of their albums.

I really liked Fate of Norns and don't really enjoy grunting too much.

I would LOVELOVELOVEEEE to see BG live. Wow I really wanted to see them when they came to NYC for the Twist in the Myth Tour but I couldn't get tickets >_>
